SEA Opening Day.
March 10, 2011 | 1:22 PM
I just bought tickets to the Seattle Mariners Opening Day game against the Cleveland Indians on April 8th, at 7.10pm PST. I think I'm going to cry when I'm there. Maybe it's hard to understand how I would feel, but try if you might, to imagine a girl from Singapore watching baseball for so many years on the telly, wishing she could make it for a game that her favourite team is playing in.
Not only is she getting that dream fulfilled, she's watching it on Opening Day, at the Safe, where the players get introduced and the crowd would be awesome. Each player will run out of the tunnel to the loudest cheers imaginable, each fan will be on his feet singing a lusty version of The Star Spangled Banner, and each train will blow its horn in greeting as it passes behind in the yard. She will finally get to see Ichiro and Felix in the flesh, and see the retractable roof roll open to signal the start of the season.
Yeah, I think she might get a little teary-eyed.
velda.
